How a World Champion gets defeated by a new challenger? One explanation is that due to age or health factor, the reigning champion has not been able to give his best. But another explanation is that in the process of challenging (rise of career and then candidates matches), the new challenger comes up with a new thinking system of his own ahead of existing systems (at least in some aspects) and yet not well analyzed giving current champion a surprise. But if the reigning champion is able to re-invent himself by developing altogether new thinking system or repair faults (if any) in his previous system, he is the one who offers a surprise and saves his kingdom (few such examples are Alekhine, Botvinnik, Kasparpov & Anand). Chess provides huge innovation opportunities and even present day fastest computers are not able to explore it fully. As per Quantum Computing pioneer Dr. David Deutsch, even quantum computers (which are the fastest computers but at concept stage only as on today) will not be able to solve the game of chess because of the branching ability of chess algorithms. So, we will be able to enjoy the games of chess tournaments for many more decades to come.

Most of the chess players who are or have been at the top of the world invented their own thinking systems which were ahead of their time. This blog has been created to discuss those chess thinking systems developed till date particularly [in the chronological time of evolution and not accuracy] : (Please click the top twenty-two hyperlinks to see details.
